Tyler turns 9 years old!

We haven't figured out yet how to celebrate birthdays.  Do you have a birthday party every year.  Do you only invite so many friends.  It gets hard when you have church friends, new house friends, old house friends, school friends and cousins.  

So we kept it simple.  

Hot dog roast in the back yard.  Lots of cheese balls which I totally love! and some soft toy fighting.  We had some rain so no out door movie, but we played outside glow stick night games between the rain showers.  Then all the kids went downstairs and watched the Lego movie in the unfinished basement.  The night was simple and a success.  You only have  birthday once a year, so make them feel special.

My mom came over the night before and brought Tyler a huge donut.  It was delicious.  I mean... He loved it!  Happy Birthday to our smart, thinking, reading, lego loving active 9 year old.  We love you Tyler.
